Potential Implications of Sea-Level Rise for Poland
@inproceedings{Pruszak2008PotentialIO, title={Potential Implications of Sea-Level Rise for Poland}, author={Zbigniew Pruszak and Elżbieta Zawadzka}, year={2008} }
Abstract Poland's approximate 500-km coastline predominantly comprises sandy, low-lying beaches and populated coastal lowlands. They are exposed to a range of threats from recently observed intensified climate changes and anticipated accelerated sea-level rise. Sediment starvation is already indicated by the growing necessity for dune and cliff protection that has been exacerbated by sea-level rise. The current study is both a summary and extension of existing Polish studies, and analyses…
